Woolen makes me think of a quicker, better-covering Browner so far. Like the love child of Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman.

I know you cannot retire them all. And politically it is a nonstarter because he almost killed someone but damn I loved Browner.

Not sure I want anyone wearing #39 but I guess we cannot keep #25, #31, #39, and #24 off the available list or we will have to start using hexadecimal once we run out of digits.

If Woolen can be like Browner, (with a little bit fewer felonies), that would be amazing.

Agreed. I'd add #29 to that list. Earl was great on the field too. Because of him - Sherman, Browner, and Thurmond/Maxwell thrived. They didn't have to be concerned of getting beat deep because of Earl back there.

Good lord I'm surprised that hit on Welker wasn't a murder charge against Browner.
What amazed me was how he hung onto that ball.
All opponents Receivers wanted to know the whereabouts of ALL the Seahawks secondaries back then, hope Woolen can bring some of that back.

When we drafted Woolen, I was debating if he will develop into a Sherman or Flowers? I am leaning towards Sherman, Flowers almost never turned his head to look the ball, Woolen does it regularly.

Maaaaan, Browner was nasty. He and Kam were absolutely brutal. They made dudes pay with their souls for stepping up. Hoping Woolen can be that spark to light the fire and bring some thump back to the D.

*Would have loved to see the Legion stay together for longer...damn.

Maybe my favorite moment with Browner wasn't a hit.
We were playing the Redsk*ns, and I think it was a playoff game.

Browner was just brutalizing guys out there. (I thought he caught a few flags, but it was worth it.)
The ball snaps and the WR on Browner's side just gives up the route completely. Is so irritated he just wants to fight Browner. Browner and the WR (I think Garcon?) are just wrestling on the snap, any pretense of running a route is gone.

So the Skins QB essentially has no #2 WR, the guy is completely out of the play.
Our pass rushers had a field day. Browner played a good part in that.

The guy was as physical as any NFL player. Corners are supposed to want to make reluctant tackles. Browner played like a LB or even a FB (in terms of wanting to initiate contact). You couldn't even flag him that often or you would be throwing a flag every down.
He would manhandle WRs. I miss that.

I just am waiting for a reporter to notice and ask him why he chose #39, if he mentions junkyard dog Browner I might have a new fav kid on the team :)

He did the same thing to Jerome Simpson from Cincinnati. Loved Browner. Too bad about what happened . I just know he's in prison

Hell of a combination.
